Dear Amro Abdelazez ,

The following paragraph on peer review for the Journal of Food Science indicates that the most time-consuming segment between the time a paper is submitted and final publication is in the evaluation process, which may require the author to revise the paper and then re-submit it, in which case, the amount of time the author would take to revise the paper should be taken into account when you are trying to figure out how long it takes for a paper to be published:

Peer review 

"All submitted manuscripts are screened by the section’s Scientific Editor for importance, interest to subscribers, substance, appropriateness for the journal, and general scientific quality. Those failing to meet current standards are rejected by the Scientific Editor without further review. Those manuscripts meeting these initial standards are sent to an Associate Editor who assigns referees. Author identities are disclosed to the referees, but referee identities are not disclosed to the author. When the initial review is complete, the Associate Editor will send you the referees’ suggestions along with his or her suggestions. You are expected to respond to all suggestions either by making appropriate revisions or stating why the suggestions are unreasonable. The Associate Editor will consider your revisions and provide the Scientific Editor with a recommendation to accept, revise, or reject your manuscript. If a second revision of a manuscript is still not satisfactory, it may be rejected (but may thereafter re-enter the peer review process if sufficiently updated and revised). You will then be informed by the Scientific Editor of the final decision."

It depends on some factors, but generally takes between 1 to 3 months

Review process make take longer than expected

Be aware that most reviewers (if not all) do this in their own spare time, which is often quite limited!

many thanks to all

All reviewer take different time.some take little time and take more time

But 2-3 months are mostly taken

Which depend upon reviewers

All the hybrid journals take about 3-8 months, totally depending upon the peer review process

Muhammad Modassar Ali Nawaz Ranjha ,

Congratulations on your publications in food sciences, and best wishes for continuing high productivity in your research work! Best regards.

It depends on peer-review and editing process. I would say an average of 3-6 months.
